opposition is i'm unconvinced from historical precedent they can control the small jihadi element in that environment. it makes the situation worse. it will make a negotiated solution with assad very difficult. we've got to recognize that fact. the situation in libya was blown out of proportion. there was not a major jihadi element. for years qaddafi crushed it. the problem in syria is the regime tolerated some elements because they were useful to funnel people to iraq over the last several years. they are reaping what they sow. these are not good people. but there is a reality on the ground, think, where the jihadi threat is more dangerous over the long run. for all those reasons and because the proximity to a neighbor, iraq, where there is still an active al qaeda element, that is still quite capable and kills people by the many tens when it feels like it in baghdad. so a couple of questions. what comes next? the goals are clear. the purpose of military intervention is clear. what we want to achieve here is clear. what comes after? jihadi groups will be able to organize in syria. i'm not convinced
